What 25 Celebs *Should* Wear on the Golden Globes Red Carpet

The glitz and glamour of the awards season continues this weekend with the arrival off the lively (and alcohol-filled) 72nd Golden Globes Awards. While the actors and actresses hit the ceremony to find out if they’re taking home a Globe, all of us non-famous folk throw a viewing party and tune in mainly for the fab fashion (and occasional flops). We’re expecting some major style moments from Hollywood’s biggest stars before they start laughing at jokes from hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (can they host our life?). In fact, we’ve already got our hopes up for what the noms and presenters will– make that should– be wearing. We’re making our style predictions known here: scroll down to see our dream looks for 25 of the evening’s biggest names.

1. Reese Witherspoon: While the actress is getting recognition for wandering the outdoors in her film Wild, we prefer her girly looks that incorporate pink, like her dress for the premiere of her other buzzy film, Inherent Vice. Let’s just say we’re more bend-and-snap than rugged boots when it comes to the red carpet. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty)

2. Emily Blunt: The actress, nominated for her role in the musical Into the Woods, brings the looks to every single red carpet ever. But we are totally crossing our fingers she steps out of the limo in a stunning colorful floor-length gown with some cutout action because OMG we’re obsessed with her set from the opening night of the 11th Annual Dubai International Film Festival. Seriously, it’s making our hearts sing (trust us, you don’t want to hear our voices sing ;) (Photo via Andrew H. Walker/Getty)

3. Amy Adams: We’re hoping the Golden Globe winner and nominee this year for her role in Big Eyes bucks the gown trend and hits the red carpet in bright pants like she did at the 86th Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon in early 2014. Even if she decides to go the usual route and dones a dress, fingers crossed she incorporates her glitzy ’70s vibes. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty)

4. Uzo Aduba: We are not crazy when we say the nominee for Orange is the New Black always brings it to the red carpet. We love the metallic embroidery on this knee-length long-sleeved dress she wore to the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards and could totally envision the actress in a similarly structured, glistening gown on the Golden Globes red carpet. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty)

5. Emma Stone: The redheaded beauty, nominated for her role in Birdman, always stuns in elegantly simple gowns, with subtle accessories. One way for the actress to catch everyone in her web at the Globes is by coming down the carpet in a dress that will compliment her light skin tone, like the one she wore to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 New York premiere. (Photo via Jamie McCarthy/Getty)

6. Viola Davis: Leather looks good on the How to Get Away With Murder nominee. Hopefully the actress will be showing off her gorgeous legs at the Globes like she did at Disney & ABC Television Group’s TCA Summer Press Tour, but we wouldn’t object to floor-length leather, not in the slightest. (Photo via Mark Davis/Getty)

7. Lena Dunham: The Girls nominee always has an unpredictable sense of style (and camera smile). But if the actress and author goes with a dark but playful look like the dress above from the season four premiere of her hit HBO show, we’re sure she won’t be getting laughs on the red carpet (unless that’s what she’s going for). (Photo via Jamie McCarthy/Getty)

8. Amy Poehler: At last year’s Golden Globes, the co-host looked stunning on the red carpet in a pantsuit. How fab would it be if she walked the carpet in another jaw dropping pants and jacket combo? Or better yet, a blazer dress over contrasting pants! It’s a thought that has us shouting “Yes, please!” (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

9. Tina Fey: The Globes co-host knows how to rock a pop of color gown filled with patterns, like she did at the premiere of This is Where I Leave You. So why not stick with what works? We’re calling a floral print as big and bold as the jokes she’ll crack on stage. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty)

10. Gina Rodriguez: The actress who got The CW its first ever Golden Globe nomination for Jane the Virgin is bound to stun everyone on the carpet with her natural beauty. That’s why we’re pulling for a colorful frock like she wore at the 2014 NCLR ALMA Awards — her skin simply glows in splashy gowns. (Photo via Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty)

11. Rosamund Pike: Although the actress plays a dark lady in her Globes-nominated role in Gone Girl, Rosamund’s red carpet looks are anything but. Here’s hoping she works in a crisp look with subtle pops of color like the neon pink-bursts in her outfit for the premiere of The World’s End. (Photo via Eamonn M. McCormack/Getty)

12. Quvenzhané Wallis: The young nominee for Annie is probably the only celeb that can get away with rocking Converse on the red carpet and make it work. All she needs to compliment those shoes perfectly is a playful dress (and hopefully the return of her dog purse) similar to the look she wore to the film’s world premiere. (Photo via Theo Wargo/Getty)

13. Keira Knightley: The actress always brings the classic beauty onscreen and on the red carpet, so we’re expecting nothing but elegance from the British star, who’s nominated for The Imitation Game. We’re hoping Kiera blows us out of the water with a high-fashion take on red carpet glamour — fingers crossed for a gown with next-level detailing like fringe, ruffles or fur like on this gown from The Moët British Independent Film Awards. (Photo via Tristan Fewings/Getty)

14. Taylor Schilling: The Orange is the New Black star is no stranger to black and white garb, rocking the color combo both on-screen and on the carpet here at the 42nd Annual American Music Awards. The two-tone is on trend right now, so we’d love to see her take this crisp, sculptural look to a glamorous new level, all while keeping the pop-of-color shoe. (Photo via Frederick M. Brown/Getty)

15. Anna Faris: The funny gal, star of CBS’ Mom, may only be a presenter at the Globes, but we’re confident she’ll pull out the playful sartorial stops like she did at the People’s Choice Awards 2015 Nominations Press Conference. A jeweled accents like that stone-filled collar are bound to keep people talking long after she announces the winner of her category. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty)

16. Kate Hudson: Kate is hitting the carpet simply to present an award, but really, does she even need a reason to work the red carpet? The blonde bombshell loves a neutral hue, like this one she rocked at the Chrome Hearts Opening in Miami. Here’s hoping she pops up next to Giuliana Rancic in a light pink frock (even better, two-piece suit!) come awards night. (Photo via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty)

17. Kristen Wiig: Wouldn’t it be THE BEST if this hysterical lady rushed the stage and hammed it up with Amy + Tina along with her presentation duties? We can dream, both about Kristen’s potential to crash the party and show up in a bright, mixed-patterned cocktail dress like she did at the Welcome To Me premiere during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

Dapper Dudes

18. Eddie Redmayne: Nominated for his role in The Theory ofEverything, Eddiehas been known for wearing a vibrant color scheme in the suit department on the red carpet. Case in point: he presented himself in royal blue plaid at the UK premiere of the movie. If the actor keeps up the playful and colorful two- or three-piece action, we may wind up being more impressed by his attire than his pretty-much-inevitable Globes acceptance speech. (Photo via Tim P. Whitby/Getty)

19. Jake Gyllenhaal: Just like the tone of the film he’s nominated for (that’s Nightcrawler, y’all), the actor is loving the all-dark-everything outfits lately, and we are too. We’d love to see a slick all-black ensemble this weekend, similar to his look for the film’s New York premiere when he shows up for the Globes. (Photo via Jamie McCarthy/Getty)

20. Matthew McConaughey: Alright, alright, alright, the True Detective nominee knows how to keep his suit game lively. With a mix and match look like the one worn to premiere for Interstellar in China, his style is harder to pin down than most. So we’ll let Matthew keep us guessing, just as long as his ensemble ends up being an out of this world combo ;) (Photo via ChinaFotoPress/Getty)

21. David Oyelowo: Nominated for his role as Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma, the actor knows how to make gray look gray-t. We’re digging the monochrome look he wore to the New York premiere of the film and would love to see more down that steely path (we’re thinking a white suit would have everyone talking). (Photo via Ben Gabbe/Getty)

22. Matt Bomer: The actor who has been referred to as a Ken Doll (he even did a performance as one in Magic Mike) took on a completely different look in his nominated role for The Normal Heart. While he likes to keep his suit game simple and sharp, the actor loves playing with patterns and colors under the jacket. We’d love it if he stayed with the exciting pattern pops like he did at the New York premiere of the film, which would cement a victory on the Globes red carpet too. (Photo via Ben Gabbe/Getty)

23. Benedict Cumberbatch: The dad-to-be and nominee for The Imitation Game could be adding something else to his home soon (a Golden Globe). Whether he does get that award or not, we know he’ll look suave in a sleek and dark suit like the one he wore to the Penguins of Madagascar New York premiere. Come to think of it, is the English actor ever not in a suit? (Photo via Andrew Toth/Getty)

24. Chris Pratt: The presenter (what, no nod for Guardians of the Galaxy?!) likes to show off his fit body with form-fitting suits like the one he wore to the UK premiere of the summer blockbuster. We’ll just sit back and enjoy seeing another fits-like-a-glove suit standing behind the podium on the Globes’ stage while we wait for him to announce the winner of his category. (Photo via Tim P. Whitby/Getty)

25. Channing Tatum: Though we totally wouldn’t mind if the presenter (and star of the drama nominee Foxcatcher) showed up in his Magic Mike attire, we can’t deny he cleans up nicely. We love the dark shade of blue the actor went with at the 18th Annual Hollywood Film Awards, so here’s hoping he steps on the carpet with another smooth ensemble. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

Who are you looking forward to seeing the most on the Golden Globes red carpet? Let us know in the comments.

Fans Are Convinced This Is When We'll Get The 'Stranger Things 5' Trailer

I didn't watch Stranger Thingswhen it first premiered because I convinced myself I wouldn't like it. I have never been more wrong. The story — which revolves around a small town in Indiana, a group of outcasts, popular kids, and parents brought together by tragedy, and a monstrous alternate dimension — launched into the cultural zeitgeist in November of 2016. Television (and streaming services) have never been the same.

The characters within the show (Millie Bobby Brown's powerful Eleven, Joe Keery's goofy-yet-sincere Steve, David Harbour's protective Jim) are so complex and engaging that it makes Stranger Things one of the best TV shows of the 2010s and 2020s. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and after the cultural moment that was Stranger Things 4 (FYI, I'm still listening to Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill"), the hit series is coming to a close.

Netflix

In February 2022, brothers, writers, and creators Matt and Ross announced both the date of season four, and that season five would be the last installment. "Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things," they say in the statement. "We hope that you stay with us as we finish this tale of a powerful girl named Eleven and her brave friends, of a broken police chief and a ferocious mom, of a small town called Hawkins and an alternate dimension known only as the Upside Down."

Here's everything we know about Stranger Things 5.

Is there a Stranger Things 5 trailer?

Netflix

We don't have a trailer for Stranger Things 5 yet, but fans are convinced we're getting one on November 6 for one special reason: it's Stranger Things Day. @StrangerNews11 went viral on X for saying the trailer was dropping on that date, and fans were more than happy to accept the rumor.

"Let's freaking gooooooo!!!!!!" one user responded, while lots of other accounts posed gifs of excited, screaming people. November 6 is Stranger Things Day because that's the day Will first went missing in the Upside Down, and releasing the trailer for the final season would be the perfect way to pay homage to the series!

Is Stranger Things 5 going to be sad?

Netflix

Stranger Things 5 is definitely going to be bittersweet. I'm hoping we see our favorite nerds defeat Vecna once and for all, but it's going to be sad to reach the end of this journey! But the cast doesn't even know how sad it'll be — considering Winona Ryder revealed they haven't done their read through for the finale yet. (Although both Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour claim they know at least part of the end).

"It's already starting to be heartbreaking, you know?" Maya Hawke, who plays Robin, tells ET at the world premiere of Inside Out 2. "I mean it's the end of a really long journey. Longer for some of my castmates, even, than for me. So it's really sentimental."

"But as a late addition cast member, I feel like it's my job to be here to facilitate their feelings and just be grateful and excited to have been a part of it all," she continues. "We shoot for a long time, so it's kind of reinvigorating [to bring] the joy and finding it everyday and making it new. It's a really fun thing to do."

Will Max be in Stranger Things 5?

Netflix

Yes, Max (and Sadie Sink) will be in Stranger Things season 5! In a new interview with Variety, Sink reveals the Stranger Things cast has been living in the same neighborhood so they can all hang out before the series wraps. The end of Stranger Things 4 featured Max in a coma after narrowly escaping Vecna, and fans are crossing all their fingers and toes we'll see Max in action again.

“[The Duffers] love having me run,” she teases. “That’s all I’ll say.”

This is totally bringing me back to the iconic Stranger Things 4 momentwhere Max battled Vecna in his mind palace — running back to Lucas, Steve, and Dustin while Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" played in the background. And considering Max is STILL in a coma, I'm wondering if we'll get another standoff between the two characters (either IRL, in the Upside Down, or in Vecna's mind palace). The jury's still out on whether we'll hear Bush's song again, but never say never!

“She’s going to play a part in the season,” Matt Duffer promises. While they won't reveal how just yet, Duffer says they “did film a scene the other day with her that was just absolutely heartbreaking." Yikes!!

What happens in Stranger Things 5?

Netflix

We're waiting for an official synopsis for Stranger Things 5, but thanks to a new video from Millie Bobby Brown, I'm wondering if all of those time jump rumors are true. In the Stranger Things 4 finale, Eleven is rocking a shaved head, but in Millie's new video, she has a longer ponytail that would take at least a year or two to grow out.

While Millie could definitely wear a wig for the final season (like she does in season 4), the fact that she's in costume with her signature bloody nose leads me to believe her hair is how we'll see it onscreen. Plus, her gray quarter zip and navy bandana are definitely giving late '80s, early '90s. I would love to see the show move into 1989, and I can't wait to see if we truly do get a time jump!

Netflix

In an interview with Happy Sad Confused's Josh Horowitz, David Harbour says that the Duffers always outdo themselves. “I’m excited to go back. I’m excited to wrap it up in a bold, amazing way," he continues. "I’m excited to really swing with this character, because you know they’re going to pay off these OG characters: Eleven, Hopper, Joyce, Will, Mike; they’re going to pay them off in big ways because they’ve lived with you for the past eight years.”

Even though David keeps his lips sealed when it comes to plot details, he does promise that the series' end is "very, very moving."

Other members of the ST team have also offered a glimpse at what we can expect. “Will really takes center stage again in [Stranger Things 5],” Ross Duffer tells Variety. The first season, which kicked off with Will (Noah Schnapp) being abducted, will wrap up where it started. Especially since the first Stranger Things 5 leakseems to show the season will take place during the holidays. Just like season one!

After years of speculation from fans, Noah confirmed that Will is gay in July of 2022 — a decision that impacted his own life as he publicly came out on TikTok in January 2023.

Netflix

"I think the way I act in Season 5, honestly, might be a little different," Noah says in the same Variety interview. "I will be fully aware of who I am. Knowing all of that about myself and being able to invest that in my character, I’m honestly just excited.”

“This emotional arc for him is what we feel is going to hopefully tie the whole series together," Ross continues. "Will is used to being the young one, the introverted one, the one that’s being protected. So part of his journey, it’s not just sexuality — it’s Will coming into his own as a young man.”

When is Stranger Things 5 coming out?

Steve Dietl/Netflix

Production was supposed to begin summer 2023, but because of the writers' strike (and the subsequent SAG-AFTRA actors' strike), Stranger Things 5was delayed until September 2023, when @strangerwriters tweeted, "we're back." And on March 9, Millie Bobby Brown told The Jonathan Ross Show that the cast has nine months of filming left.

The final season is in production now, and based on the timeline for Stranger Things 3 (which began filming in April of 2018 and released in July of 2019), we can expect Stranger Things 5 to hit Netflix late spring or early summer 2025.

Who's going to be in Stranger Things 5?

Atsushi Nishijima/Netflix

Thanks to a recent behind-the-scenes photo from Netflix, we know for sure that Stranger Things season 5 will bring back all our favorites. The photo confirms we'll see Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Noah Schnapp as Will, Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin, Natalia Dyer as Nancy, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan, Sadie Sink as Max, Maya Hawke as Robin, Joe Keery as Steve, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, and Winona Ryder as Joyce. Plus more returning stars like Amybeth McNulty and Priah Ferguson!

Even though Joseph Quinn's Eddie met a tragic fate at the end of Stranger Things 4, he recently hinted we could be seeing the beloved character again. During the April 2024 Facts Convention in Belgium, when a fan asks whether he'll return for the final season, Joseph takes his time to respond (and looks somewhat nervous, might I add). "I do know [whether Eddie's in season 5]," the Fantastic Four actor finally says. "But I'm not telling you."

We've seen deceased characters return as hallucinations before, so I wouldn't be surprised if Stranger Things season 5 features all the characters we've been missing — especially if Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven defeats Vecna and turns the Upside Down into a place of beauty instead of a place of horror.

Will Millie be in season 5?

Netflix

Yes, Millie Bobby Brown is in Stranger Things 5! She sat down with MTV's Josh Horowitz ahead of her new movie Damsel to talk about the end of the series, and confirmed the vibe is "the exact same" as it's always been.

"I wish I could be like, 'Everybody's crying everyday.' But everybody's having fun!" she says in the interview. "I know closer to the end, we're gonna think about the end, but right now it's nice and it's really fun to be back together again...[We may be] a few months toward the end but we know it's a long road ahead. So right now we're living in bliss."

Who isn't returning to Stranger Things 5?

Netflix

Eduardo Franco, who played Jonathan's friend Argyle in Stranger Things 4, said in an interview with Steve Varley that he wouldn't be returning for the final season of the show. “It’s nice to hear that there’s some sort of, you know, concern or something, you know what I mean?” Eduardo says. “But I never got a phone call, so I think that’s it.”

And while Eddie Munson (played by Joseph Quinn) became one of the series' most popular characters, his death in the finale feels pretty permanent. "I really don’t know,” Joseph told British GQ in 2022. “[Eddie] seems pretty f—king dead to me...By no means am I ruling it out. That’s a decision for the grown-ups to make. But Stranger Things was doing fine without Eddie. I think they’ll be fine next season without him, too.”

Who is the new character in Stranger Things 5?

Netflix

Linda Hamilton (The Terminator, Children of the Corn) is joining the Stranger Things 5. We don't know what kind of role she'll be playing, but we do know she loves Stranger Things as much as we do. “I don’t know how to be a fangirl and an actress at the same time,” she said in a video announcement at Netflix's Tudum event. “I’m gonna work on that.”

Is there a Stranger Things spinoff coming?

Netflix

"There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things," the Duffers say in their statement announcing the end of the series. "New mysteries, new adventures new unexpected heroes."

In addition to the Stranger Things: The First Shadowstage play in London, we're also getting a live-action spinoff via Netflix. No one knows what the spinoff is about — except for Finn Wolfhard, who happened to guess it!

Is Millie Bobby Brown done with Stranger Things?

Netflix

Millie Bobby Brown is returning as Eleven, but she said in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily that she's looking forward to the next chapter of life. Now 20, she started the series when she was 11 years old. “It’s been such a huge factor in part of my life, but it’s like graduating high school, it’s like senior year,” she says. “You’re ready to go and blossom and flourish and you’re grateful for the time you’ve had, but it’s time to create your own message and live your own life.”

Other members of the cast have also expressed their thoughts on the show's end.

“It’s interesting to constantly just be reminded how much people have resonated with it," Gaten Matarrazzo said onTheTonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "It’s something that’s so important to all of us and has just been essential to the growth that I’ve had over all of my teenage years into my 20s. It’s the defining aspect of the past 10 years of my life.”

Even if Finn Wolfhard, isn't quite ready for the show to end, he knows it's time. "If Stranger Things went on any longer than five, I would say it would be ridiculous,” Wolfhard told Uproxx. “I think the Duffer brothers figured out, I would imagine, a perfect ending in five. We didn’t even know if we’d do two. So we’re happy that people still are around and want to watch it.”

Your First Look At Stranger Things 5 Fan Favorite Dustin Henderson

Ross Duffer/Instagram

After sharing images of Joe Keery and Maya Hawke as Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley, co-creator Ross Duffer shared a picture of Gaten Matarazzo's Dustin in full Hellfire Club gear. Gaten's doing the signature move of fan favorite character Eddie Munson (who died at the end of Stranger Things 4), and a new leaked photo from set connects Dustin and Eddie in another way, too.

The image shows Dustin at Eddie's grave, which has been vandalized with spray paint. The only word we can clearly make out is "Burn," but considering Eddie led the Hellfire club, it's safe to assume the spray paint reads "Burn in Hell" — especially after the Satanic Panic plotline in ST4 turned all of Hawkins against Eddie. If Dustin is the new leader of the club, and the town still hates it, I'm going to need him to watch his back. STAY SAFE DUSTIN.

I will forever and always be a Steve stan, but let us know who you're most excited to see in Stranger Things 5, in the comments and on Facebook. And check out our TikTok for more fun celeb and pop culture content — like seeing Millie Bobby Brown at a Brooklyn Nets game!

Blake Lively Celebrated Ryan Reynolds' Birthday With The Sweetest Surprise

There are a lot of celebrity couples we love (Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce! Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom!), but if you ask me, nobody handles having a relationship in the spotlight like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. This hilarious duo protects their kids, but they're also always down for a good time.

The couple first met in 2010 while filming Green Lantern, which has quickly become regarded as Ryan Reynolds' worst movie (the actor said he'd "genuinely rather watch just a f—ing 24-hour marathon of PAW Patrol). But, in addition to the fact I didn't think the movie was all that bad, it also gave the world the gift of Ryan & Blake's relationship. The couple quickly fell in love, tying the knot in 2010. Since then, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have had four children (James, Inez, Betty, and Olin), launched a variety of brands like Betty Buzz, Aviation Gin, and Blake Brown Beauty, and given Hollywood some of its most iconic movies — all while supporting and praising one another. Keep reading for their full relationship timeline.

2010 — Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Meet While Filming Green Lantern

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds met on the Green Lantern set. After they filmed the movie, they ended up going out with other people, but hitting it off with each other.

"We were buddies for a long time, which I think is the best way to have a relationship, to start as friends," Ryan Reynolds said in an interview with SiriusXM's Entertainment Weekly Radio in 2016. "About a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and we were both single, we went on a double date — she was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl — and it was like the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across."

Their relationship quickly evolved to the one we know and love today!

"Something funny or emotional that one of us said."

"Our wedding was becoming a disaster, and we didn't know what to do, so we called Martha!" BlakeLively told Vogue in 2014. "She said, 'Don't worry. I'll handle it.' She sent her team down to save us."

The wedding took place at Boone Hall Plantation, a former slave plantation in South Carolina, a location the couple is "unreservedly sorry for," Reynolds told Fast Company in 2020.

The universe has such a magical sense of humor sometimes."

August 6, 2024 — Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Attends It Ends With Us Premiere

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds love to support each other at their movie premieres, but it goes way deeper than that. "He works on everything I do, I work on everything he does. So his wins, his celebrations are mine and mine are his," Blake told E! News. "The iconic rooftop scene [in It Ends With Us], my husband actually wrote it."

At the New York premiere for the new Blake Lively movie, Blake and Ryan shared a moment that proves they belong together. While heading to talk to People on the carpet, Blake Lively leans over and grabs Ryan Reynolds' butt. And the funniest part is that Ryan doesn't even turn around.

"He didn’t even react because It happens so often," one user jokes in the comments, while another says, "I love the respect that they have for each other - with love! Yes that her man!"

30 Things You Can Make With Your Leftover Halloween Pumpkins

Jack-o'-lanterns are great for Halloween decorations, but the humble pumpkin certainly has a lot to offer once the holiday's over. In the U.S. alone, 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins are thrown away after Halloween every year. Once trashed, wasted pumpkins end up occupying a lot of space in landfills and producing harmful amounts of the greenhouse gas, methane.

Because of this, it's important to consider making some more sustainable moves after spooky season ends. Turns out, many varieties of pumpkins you'll find in stores this fall are actually bred for carving, and aren't safe for consumption – each pumpkin will often be marked if they're inedible. Try looking out for pumpkins that *can* be eaten so you can make the most out of the pumpkin guts: Cherokee Bush, Casper, Cinderella, and Fairy Tale pumpkins are all great choices.

Consider composting your pumpkins after Halloween, too. If you don't do at-home compost, there are likely to be community compost pick-ups or drop-offs near you.

The most sustainable (and delicious) way to use leftover pumpkin is to make some recipes with it! We've gone far beyond pumpkin pie and roasting pumpkin seeds (although we'll happily do that, too) to bring you some creative ways to make use of the insides of yourjack-o'-lanterns after their flames have burned out. We're scooping out over a dozen creative ways to use the whole thing, guts and all.

A Shirtless Chad Michael Murray In 'The Merry Gentlemen' Trailer Is All We Need For Christmas

Channing Tatum may have to hang up his sexy dancing skills because it looks like Chad Michael Murray is the new reigning champ in his new film, The Merry Gentlemen. You can tell it's going to be a Christmas movie, but we're not talking about Home Alone or Jingle All the Way here. This spicy film feels more like Magic Mike going on a sexy and romantic journey through a small town — which sounds like something we'd watch more than once.

We love watching Chad Michael Murray in Sullivan's Crossing, but we're excited we get to see him prance around our screens without a shirt in the new trailer for The Merry Gentlemen, TBH. Here's everything we know about the upcoming film and what we can expect to see!

What's 'The Merry Gentlemen' about?

Katrina Marcinowski/Netflix

Written by Marla Sokoloff, The Merry Gentlemen is set to follow one former dancer's (Ashley played by Britt Robertson) journey to making sure the Rhythm Room — a "performing arts venue" — doesn't go defunct. It's owned by her parents, so she has personal ties to this small-town source of entertainment, coming up with the bright idea to surprise the community with an "all-male Christmas-theme revue."

Who's starring in 'The Merry Gentlemen'?

Katrina Marcinowski/Netflix

According to Netflix, The Merry Gentlemenwill feature a host of other faces! We'll see the following:

  • Chad Michael Murray as Luke
  • Britt Robertson as Ashley
  • Michael Gross as Stan
  • Marla Sokoloff as Marie
  • Maxwell Caulfield as Danny
  • Beth Broderick as Lily
  • Marc Anthony Samuel as Roger
  • Hector Rivera, Jr. as Ricky
  • Colt Prattes as Troy

When can we watch 'The Merry Gentlemen' on Netflix?

Katrina Marcinowski/Netflix

We'll be able to see Chad Michael Murray and more sexy shirtless men give us a show on November 20. We're not sure what it is, but there's nothing like watching Christmas movies right before Thanksgiving to get us in the winter spirit.

What have Chad Michael Murray and Britt Robertson said about starring in 'The Merry Gentlemen?'

Katrina Marcinowski/Netflix

We didn't think it was possible, but Chad Michael Murray was a little nervous about playing Luke. "I'd never danced professionally or trained by any means," he said (via PEOPLE). Though he has a thing for "going out and dancing," he's never done anything "to this level."

As to why he chose this role, Chad seems to enjoy a challenge. "When I see something and it scares the crap out of me, something in me says, 'Alright, well let's see what we can do.'" He has two thoughts — "'I'm going to fall flat on my face or have a lot of fun doing.'" If you ask us, that's the right spirit to have for a fun Christmas movie.

Britt Robertson was immediately drawn to the script and her role as Ashley. "When I read the script, I was like, ‘This is my kind of Christmas movie,'" she said (via Netflix). She also teased why she can't get enough of the cowboy appeal in the movie. "...I'm Southern...the hats, the boots. There's so much you can work with."

We're slightly ashamed to say how many times we've watched this funny and sexy trailer for The Merry Gentlemen. We've always thought Chad Michael Murray was everything a dream boyfriend should be, but now we have proof he's raising the bar!

OMG Jennifer Lawrence & Her Adorable Baby Bump Just Made Their First Red Carpet Appearance

Jennifer Lawrence announced she's pregnant, and we couldn't be happier for her! Though she and her husband, Cooke Maroney, aren't known for being in the public eye too much, it seems like this is one piece of news they don't mind sharing! Sorry, but we haven't been this excited about baby news since Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson became parents — excuse us while we celebrate!

Here's everything we know about baby number 2 so far.

Has Jennifer Lawrence debuted her baby bump yet?

Anna Webber/Getty Images for AFI

YES! Jennifer Lawrence's baby bump was the star of the Zurawski v Texas premiere (via PEOPLE). She wore a structured white dress with a black belt around her waist that accentuated her cute baby bump and appeared to be glowing.

According to Deadline, she's one of the executive producers of Zurawski v Texas, a documentary that sheds light on the "restrictive abortion laws" that put women's lives in danger in Texas. Alongside producers Hilary and Chelsea Clinton, Jennifer's involvement in the documentary as a pregnant woman makes a pivotal statement during a time where mothers' mortalities aren't always considered during their pregnancies.

When did Jennifer Lawrence announce her second pregnancy?

Leave it to Vogue to get the exclusive scoop about Jennifer being pregnant again! According to the publication, an official "representative for the actor confirmed" the news yesterday, October 20. So exciting!

When is Jennifer Lawrence's second baby due?

Kevin Mazur

Jennifer Lawrence hasn't announced her due date yet, so we can't be quite sure! However, if she's out of her first trimester, Jennifer could have her baby around April 2025!

What have Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney said about their family?

John Phillips/Getty Images for Sony Pictures

It seems Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney were open to the idea of having another baby as recently as this summer! An unknown source told Entertainment Tonight, "Jennifer and Cooke are doing very well and are super in love. They make each other laugh and have the best time parenting together. They would love to have another kid and expand their family."

When was Jennifer Lawrence's first baby born?

Sebastian Reuter/Getty Images for Sony Pictures

Jennifer and Cooke's firstborn son, Cy, was born February 2022, which means he's almost three years old!

The actress later explored her feeling about becoming a mom in another Vogueinterview. "It’s so scary to talk about motherhood. Only because it’s so different for everybody. If I say, It was amazing from the start, some people will think, 'It wasn’t amazing for me at first,' and feel bad. Fortunately I have so many girlfriends who were honest. Who were like, It’s scary," she said.

What has Jennifer Lawrence said about being a mom?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

It seems like Jennifer found her stride because she's apparently embraced being a mom. She hasn't said anything recently, but she did speak with Entertainment Tonight last year during the promotion of No Hard Feelings about her parenting habits. "Of course, the urge to stop anything from ever hurting or negatively affecting your baby..." she said.

However, co-star Andrew Barth Feldman had nothing but positive words to share about Jennifer as a mom. "Jen is an amazing mother, for real. That was kind of one of the incredible things about doing this with you is seeing just how much of a priority being a mother is for you and how deeply you care about that over everything," he said.

We can't wait to see how Jennifer's second pregnancy develops and hope she's willing to give us a little sneak peek of how she's prepping to have two young kids!
